    Notizen: Summary We first compared glomerular charge selectivity index in two matched groups of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with micro and normoalbuminuria respectively, and secondly, investigated prospectively in a randomized clinical trial, the influence of improved metabolic control on selectivity index in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. In Study 1, 27 patients with microalbuminuria (albumin excretion 〉-15 μg/min in at least two out of three overnight urine samples) were matched (age, diabetes duration, mean 1-year HbA1c, gender) with normoalbuminuria patients (n=24), and in Study 2, 23 microalbuminuric patients were randomly allocated to either intensive (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) or conventional treatment. Glomerular charge selectivity index was measured as IgG/IgG4 selectivity index, i.e. total IgG/IgG4 clearance ratio in timed overnight urine samples. The microalbuminuric patients had a significantly reduced selectivity index compared to the normoalbuminuric patients: 1.20 (0.92–1.40) vs 1.68 (1.22–2.21), median and 95% confidence interval (p〈0.01). In Study 2, the HbA1c improved in the intensive-treatment group compared to the conventional-treatment group: at 2, 6 and 12 months the difference in mean percentage HbA1c between the groups was 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4, respectively (p〈0.01). A sharp 50% increment in IgG/IgG4 selectivity index was seen in the intensive-treatment group during the first 6 months (p〈0.05 compared to the conventional group). We conclude that adolescents and young adults in an early stage of diabetic nephropathy have reduced glomerular charge selectivity, which may be improved by reducing the mean blood glucose level.

    Notizen: Abstract Ultrasound scanning was performed at three sites above the fossa supraspinata on nine healthy subjects and five patients with myofascial shoulder pain. This method produced a well-defined depiction of the soft tissue layers above the fossa supraspinata and reproducible muscle thickness measurements. In the healthy subjects the average distance from the skin surface to the trapezius muscle was 7.7 mm and the average thickness of the trapezius muscle was 5.3 mm, and the average thickness of supraspinatus muscle was 20.0 mm. The supraspinatus muscle was thinner at the medial measuring site than at the other two sites. In contrast, a tendency towards a larger distance was seen from the skin to trapezius muscle at the medial measuring site than at the other two sites. No statistical differences were found between the two groups of subjects either at rest or during brief shoulder abductions. All the subjects performed a 30° unilateral isometric shoulder abduction test to exhaustion. The median endurance time was 33 min for the healthy subjects and only 5 min for the patients. The ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were in line with this, since the increment in RPE with time was larger for the patients than for the healthy group. The reduced shoulder abduction endurance time in the patient group may have been related to impaired muscle function and/or pain development. During the 33-min shoulder abduction in the healthy subjects, the thickness of supraspinatus muscle increased by 14%, indicating muscle swelling, whereas the thickness of trapezius muscle remained constant. The fluid imbalance in the supraspinatus muscle compartment may well play a role in the development of muscle fatigue and the disorders found in industry resulting from prolonged work with arms elevated.
